Rclone for encrypted sync (can be virtually mounted) and Duplicacy for encrypted backup. What makes nFreezer different?

  nFreezer is different to RClone and Duplicity on a very important point (for me because I often move big multimedia projects): if you move `/path/to/10GB_file` to `/anotherpath/subdir/10GB_file_renamed`, no data will be re-transferred over the network, thus saving 10 GB of data transfer. Indeed, Rclone does not handle renames when in encrypted mode, see https://forum.rclone.org/t/can-not-use-track-renames-when-syncing-to-and-from-crypt-remotes/11063 https://forum.rclone.org/t/can-not-use-track-renames-when-sy... Idem for duplicity (tests done). TL;DR: see 3rd point of https://github.com/josephernest/nfreezer#features https://github.com/josephernest/nfreezer#features ___ Another interesting feature is that you can read/audit the full source code of nFreezer quickly: it's only 249 source lines of code, as of today.

    Duplicacy is a separate backup tool, but has a confusingly similar name to duplicity. I believe its chunking algorithm means large renamed files aren't re-transferred.

      And don't forget Duplicati!
